My first build

[Kestrel Motors Inc.]

Hey, this is my first build, (nothing compared to what my next one will be). It's not exactly "legal", but lots of fun in parades and such. Just tell me what you think!

Tell some about the build. What's the frame? Engine? Do you have photos of the build in process? Is that a home made sheave? Enquiring minds want to know...

The sheave was a 12" bike wheel that I took the spokes out of, the engine is a 1/2 horse Briggs and Stratton WMB, the frame was some sort of girl's Hawthorne. My dad and I built it, it'll go about 28, that's the top speed so far (but at that point the front wheel started to come off ). Here's some pictures of some of the "work-in-progress" and some of the mock-ups I thought about doing.

The engine is a Briggs and Stratton WMB, the frame is some kind of a girl's Hawthorne, and the photos of the build are right here... Thanks!
